Huff made the revelation while speaking at a fundraiser for sexual assault victims and their families. According to the Globe, Huff said the assault happened while she was attending Boston University in 1980.

Brown revealed in 2011 that he was a victim of sexual abuse as a youth while attending camp on Cape Cod.

Huff and Brown were honored Friday night at the Ritz-Carlton Boston during the It Happened to Alexa Foundation for their dedication to strengthening laws against sexual violence and rape. The foundation is named for Alexa Branchini, who was raped at knife point in a BU dormitory bathroom in 1999 by a man hiding in the shower.

According to the Globe, the Branchinis later created the foundation, which provides financial assistance to families traveling to be with sexual assault victims during criminal trials.

Huff accepted an award from the foundation while speaking openly about her experience.

“You see, what happened to Alexa, happened to Gail,” Huff said, according to the Globe. “Both of them were teenage girls starting out their lives, both of them students at BU, both attacked in bathrooms by total strangers, both threatened they would be killed.”

Huff said she testified against her attacker, but because of a lack of sufficient evidence, he was found not guilty and set free. She said for years, she lived in fear.

It wasn’t until 33 years later that she said she decided to share her story because she knew how important it was “to help families.”

Brown, who was out of town on business, thanked the organization for his honor in a video message. He was 7 years old when he said he was abused by a counselor.

Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber Dzkokhar Tsarnaev rested their case in his federal death penalty trial Tuesday after presenting a brief case aimed at showing his late older brother was the mastermind of the 2013 terror attack.
